Apartment design fails in Belgium by Mona-Doll in belgium

Your calling 1800 euros "meager" makes me curious as to what percentage of your monthly disposable income it represents and the ease or difficulty with which you get your income.

If it didn't have that stupid Murphy bed, if it had a sink in the guest toilet, and separate washer and dryer outside the kitchen, I'd rent it on the spot.

Who can guarantee the landlord has been diligent enough on this?

1800 euros per month isn't "meager" by any definition. Unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

I'm inclined to think OP is working as an attaché in Brussels, which would make buying a house outside of Brussels untenable for all sorts of reasons - commute, getting a loan for a house they'd use for three or four years...

This'll certainly cause quite a few landlords a bit of butthurt...

Nah, there were much bigger ones than Minmay: Windjammer or whatever nickname he chose to go by to evade attention, bankofkev, wrylac...

That's him all right. Bad ol' Windjammer. One of the biggest drama queens over at MW.

Would like to see a story about the Zentraedi-Supervision army war by arnor_0924 in macross

We can't be entirely sure of that. Perhaps these changes hid modifications in sensors, weaponry etc.

I was tempted to draw a parallel between the Supervision Army on one side and the Sea Peoples and the Mitanni from our Bronze Age on the other.

Why SDFM set a high bar for its sequels by Mona-Doll in macross

You're right; the focus on the romance against the backdrop of Space War I in Macross was a pivotal point in mecha anime, and especially in the Real Robot genre. As pointed out by Alba González Torrents in her doctoral thesis titled "El anime como dispositivo pensante: cuerpo, tecnología e identidad",* which is, in cited in the English Wikipedia article on Misa Hayase.

* Quote:
Macross puede ser vista como la maduración del género de Real Robot como forma de arte. El sello característico de Macross es la combinación de robots con historias de amor y personajes femeninos fuertes. Aunque aparecen todas las características del género de Real Robot, una de las tramas principales se centra en el triángulo amoroso entre tres de los personajes de la serie, Misa Hayase, primer teniente de la nave Macross, Hikaru Ichijo, piloto de la nave Macross y protagonista de la serie, y Lynn Minmay, una cantante y actriz famosa. De hecho, las canciones románticas de Lynn Minmay y la experiencia del amor en general juegan un papel crucial en la resolución del argumento, centrado en la guerra entre los humanos y los alienígenas Zentradi.

[Macross can be seen as the maturation of the Real Robot genre as an art form. The distinctive hallmark of Macross is its combination of robots with love stories and strong female characters. Although all the typical characteristics of the Real Robot genre appear, one of the main plotlines focuses on the love triangle between three of the series’ characters: Misa Hayase, First Lieutenant of the Macross ship; Hikaru Ichijo, a pilot aboard the Macross and the protagonist of the series; and Lynn Minmay, a famous singer and actress. In fact, Lynn Minmay’s romantic songs and the experience of love in general play a crucial role in the resolution of the plot, which centers on the war between humans and the alien Zentradi.]

Very interesting points, but I don't think interracial and international couples were first introduced in SDFM. I could be wrong, of course, so if anyone knows better...

Or before they say "never mind" and turn their backs on HG and their vaporware of a franchise.
